Jacksonville women and men are you ready for the latest and greatest trend in beauty? Kobe Ellis, of EBK Beauty, is bringing microblading for eyebrows to the northeast Florida area. There is no need to plan a visit to New York City, or other major beauty capital because this service is now available in our own city.

Microblading is also known as eyebrow embroidery, feathering, etching, or semi-permanent makeup, the truth is that no matter what name it’s called it is practically a fountain of youth. Ask anyone that is a victim of over tweezing, hair loss, aging, or just plain genetics that leaves the eyebrows less defined or sparse and they will tell you they long for fuller eyebrows. Microblading fills in the spaces, plumps the eyebrow area with 3-D looking hair strokes, and takes away years from the face.

Ms. Ellis is a beauty expert that specializes in the eye area. Her company, EBK Beauty is an acronym for Eyes By Kobe. She is best known for her ability to shape and form eyebrows to perfectly fit the face and eyes of the person in her chair. Now, she has completed professional training to bring the very best technique for microblading to her home town.

“A person no longer has to spend time filling in the eyebrow area with something they know will look less than natural,” Ms. Ellis said. “Now they can have fuller eyebrows that look real, make them look more natural and energetic, not to mention younger and vibrant.”

Experts in the beauty business have tried for decades to come up with products that can be used that will help women in need of fuller eyebrows. Not only those with thinned eyebrows, but also to help those that with brows that need reshaping or repositioning to better frame their eyes and show off their best look.

Microblading involves the expert depositing a pigment about 1 mm under the skin with a special tool (no machine) and procedure that gives the appearance of thin eyebrow hairs. It is relatively painless and few complain of it being uncomfortable said Ms. Ellis. The procedure involves about an hour or two of the client’s time and two treatments. Afterwards, the client can expect the treatment to last for anywhere from six months to a year or longer.

Ms. Ellis iterated that there are clients that seek out the treatment that have suffered from serious illnesses such as cancer or alopecia and find the procedure life enhancing

There are other salons and spas in the area that offer traditional eyebrow tattoos, but those can leave the brows looking flat and dull compared to this new technique. Microblading is a step up from that procedure and offers a more impressive result. Ms. Ellis added that she is capable of blending the pigment to best match the client’s coloring. While either wearing makeup or going natural, a person (male or female) can be assured they have perfectly shaped, placed, formed, and filled in brows. This is the perfect procedure for those close-up selfies and upcoming holiday photos.
